A.J. Allmendinger One To Watch At Road America on Sunday
A.J. Allmendinger expects to qualify somewhere in the teens or lower 20's on Sunday. He finished fifth at Austin and seventh on the Daytona road course. The No. 16 car should be a good one to look at on Sunday especially with Allmendinger behind the wheel. He can drive a race car like Boris Said. […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoMichael McDowell Carries Upside DFS Wise at Road America
If one tosses out the Sonoma result, Michael McDowell has two top ten results on road courses this year. His 7th at Austin was more impressive considering he started 23rd and the fact that the race was cut short. The No. 34 has a bit of a reputation of driving a bit recklessly, especially on […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoRyan Blaney Tries to Build Off Pocono at Road America
Ryan Blaney has had just okay results on road tracks this year including a 17th most recently at Sonoma. However, he comes off a 5th and 6th at Pocono last weekend. The Team Penske driver enjoys success typically on road courses. His average finish the past three years is a solid 12.8. This is a […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoAlex Bowman Expected to be Around Top Ten at Road America
Alex Bowman has two wins in his previous seven races. That includes six top-ten finishes. Two of those six were at Austin (8th) and Sonoma (9th). Bowman won the Saturday race at Pocono. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has shown more consistency over the past couple of months. Bowman even has managed an average finish […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoJoey Logano One to Watch at Road America on Sunday
Joey Logano has a knack for just performing well on road courses. In 2021, he has three top-five finishes (2nd at Daytona road, 3rd at Austin, and 4th at Sonoma). It is why he will be one to watch on Sunday. Again, at least see where he qualifies but the Team Penske driver could have […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoKevin Harvick on Upswing Heading to Road America
Kevin Harvick is getting better results of late with four top-ten finishes in his last five races. That includes an eighth and fourth last weekend at Pocono. The only concern is that the Stewart-Haas Racing driver has not led a lap since Darlington. Normally, he is an excellent road option for DFS purposes but Sunday […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoWilliam Byron a Little Riskier Than Usual at Road America
William Byron could easily finish in the top ten on Sunday. However, the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has had some odd luck at road courses the past two times out. He was near the front when he crashed at Sonoma. Then there was the 11th at Austin where his pit window and the rain did […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoMartin Truex Jr May Break Out Of Funk at Road America
Martin Truex Jr. led 19 laps on Sunday at Pocono and though he finished 11th, there was hope for the No. 19 for the first time since Sonoma. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver had not led a lap since Austin. Truex Jr had almost finished 18th or worse in five of the previous six races. […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoDenny Hamlin Still Seeking First Win of 2021 Yet Leads Point Race
Denny Hamlin has not won a race yet this season. Last Sunday, he was right there and then ran out of gas just before the checkered flag at Pocono. He dropped to 14th as a result but barely maintained his points race lead over Kyle Larson. The Joe Gibbs Racing cars have looked better on […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoChase Elliott Favored to Win at Road America
Chase Elliott was carrying around +225 odds to win at Road America on Sunday. That is probably because he has six road wins in the last three seasons. Also, Elliott finished first at Austin and second at Sonoma. It really is almost automatic that he has to be considered. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing car has […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoKyle Larson Could Win at Road America on Sunday
Kyle Larson had the winning formula last week at Pocono but blew a tire on the last lap. He finished ninth then second in the two races there. A few more laps might have given him the win on Sunday. That being said, the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver is among the favorites at Road America. […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoKyle Busch Expects to Carry Momentum from Pocono to Road America
Kyle Busch comes off a weekend at Pocono where he finished second and then first. This put him up into the top five in the points race. Most will forget the Joe Gibbs Racing driver was contending at Sonoma before sliding back into fifth and led 12 laps at the shortened COTA race in Austin. […]

Chris Wassel 3 years agoKramer Hickok Could Contend Again at Detroit
In two of the last three tournaments, Kramer Hickok has held it together and the results speak for themselves. He finished second at the Travelers with all four rounds in the 60's. That included a Sunday 67 where Hickok made no major mistakes. Since the American Express Championship in January, it has been an awful […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoAdam Hadwin Still Expected to be All Over the Place at Detroit
Adam Hadwin's game literally can change from hole to hole at times. Where he maintained a level head at the Charles Schwab and U.S. Open, he lost it at the Travelers as Hadwin missed the cut on an easier course. He can putt great but approaching the green has been a mighty struggle the last […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoEmiliano Grillo Wildcard Pick at Detroit
Emiliano Grillo is an intriguing golfer to look at for the Detroit course. Can he build off that 65 at the Travelers from last Friday? That is the question. His biggest problem, like most golfers this year, has been consistency. That 65 was preceded by a 74 last Thursday which felt more like a 77 […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoLanto Griffin Not Expected to be in Detroit Mix
Lanto Griffin made the cut at the Travelers Championship then proceeded to just hover around 70th place all weekend. He did not perform well at all after a Friday 67 helped him see Saturday. Even at the US Open, Griffin missed too many shots which caused some crooked rounds. That did not happen as much […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoLucas Glover May Bounce Back at Detroit
Lucas Glover's putter failed him last week at the Palmetto Championship. He could not recover after an opening-round 76. Ultimately, he missed the cut. The frustrating part for Glover is this. He puts some rounds together and then there are a few holes where shots go wayward and then instantly a good round goes bad. […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoRickie Fowler Roller Coaster Could Continue at Detroit
It seems like Rickie Fowler has a couple of up tournaments followed by some down ones. Then, this becomes rinse and repeat. He finished in a tie for 8th and 11th at two of the more challenging events on tour (PGA and The Memorial). Then, he misses the cut with a Friday 75 at The […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoBryson DeChambeau Still Trying to Find Top Form at Detroit
Bryson DeChambeau is still looking for that form like he had when he won the Arnold Palmer in March. His long game is still there and he drives the ball best on tour at 322.4 yards. However, that driver has let him down more often than not lately as he ranks 186th in driving accuracy […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoJason Day Could Contend at Detroit This Week
When Jason Day is healthy, he is one of the ten best golfers in the world. The problem is that has not happened often. Day took a month off between tournaments and finished in the top ten at the Travelers Championship. He put together four solid rounds including a spectacular 62 on Friday where Day […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoCameron Champ Not Expected to be Factor at Detroit
If it feels like Cameron Champ has skipped the last month or so on tour, it is because he more or less has. The golfer has missed cuts or withdrawn from the last four tournaments. This followed a span where he made four straight cuts. Champ cannot string rounds together often. Even at the Masters […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoRafa Cabrera Bello Could Have Short Stay at Detroit
The Rocket Mortgage Writer Tournament could be unkind to Rafa Cabrera Bello this week. Fortunately, this is a shorter course at just over 7300 yards. Cabrera Bello barely drives the ball over 287 yards but is 52nd in driving accuracy (64.4%). The problem is he cannot hit a green in regulation. The golfer ranks just […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoKeegan Bradley Not Putting Well, Could Be Trouble at Detroit
Keegan Bradley can be almost an all-or-nothing golfer. Consider that he finished in the top-20 at the PGA Championship then followed that up by missing two straight cuts. When one misses the Travelers' Championship cut, that raises some red flags. He ranks 186th in putting (-.486 strokes gained). Again, everything else about his game is […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoErik Jones Not a Good Idea for DFS at Pocono
Erik Jones started 22nd on Saturday at Pocono and that is just where he ended after 130 laps. It has been a bit of a theme lately. Jones has not enjoyed much positive place differential other than Sonoma (+7) and Austin (+13). The Richard Petty Motorsports driver briefly broke into the top 15 while others […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoAustin Dillon Not Expected Much on Sunday at Pocono
Austin Dillon starts from the 21st position on Sunday for the 140-lap race. Things looked promising when he had some speed and clean air. He was ninth after the first stage then had a variety of issues which left him 25th after the second stage. Dillon never truly could recover after that. He struggled in […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoChris Buescher Starts from Pole on Sunday at Pocono
How fast does Chris Buescher drop from the pole is the main question. However, could he lead a few laps before he does? The Roush Fenway Racing driver kept falling behind from about the midway point of the race on. Every time he caught up a bit, Buescher just seemed to miss the groove or […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoMichael McDowell Could Lead Some More Laps at Pocono
Michael McDowell had a decent run going at Pocono on Saturday but just could not keep the groove during the longer runs. McDowell was in the top-15 for most of the race though and even led five laps when the contenders pitted. There were times when his car definitely had clean air and it showed. […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoMartin Truex Jr. Needs to Find Groove at Pocono
It is odd to see Martin Truex Jr. struggle as he has over the past several weeks. Pocono seemed to offer refuge and when he was seventh after Stage 2, there was hope. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver lost track position in droves after that, however. He even fell out of the top 20 briefly […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoChristopher Bell Hopes for Better Result at Pocono on Sunday
Christopher Bell never truly recovered after winding up at the rear of the field. He got into the top 15 briefly late in the race but could not sustain track position. Bell slid back to 17th as his Joe Gibbs Racing car just did not have enough speed in the end. At least on Sunday, […]
